Overall Heritage was a fun high school to attend. Teachers were engaged in student's learning. Classes were manageable but sometimes not a great variety of courses were offered.

High School taught me how to believe in myself. The best part of high school was participating in school sports.

great school and community. I highly recommend
2/16/2017
50% of the teachers don't care. Discipline problems get swept under the rug. Guidance counselors do not provide equal assistance to all students who are trying to apply to colleges.
1/13/2017
Heritage is a fantastic school. The teaching and administrative staff are fantastic and the community is actively involved in the schools. There are also fantastic electives!
8/27/2016
Heritage Rocks! It's a great school that while not perfect is one that is highly engaged in the community and works to truly prepare it's students for the Real World. Loosing Dr. Savage as a principal was a great loss to the school this year but I know the staff and community will rally to continue...
